Abstract
A fault is considered as a variation of physical parameters; therefore the design of fault detection and identification(FDI) can be reduced to the parameter identification of a non linear system and to the association of the set of the estimated parameters with the mode of faults. Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System which contains multiple linear models as consequent part is used to model nonlinear systems. Generally, the linear parameters in neuro-fuzzy inference system can be effectively utilized to fault diagnosis. In this paper, we proposes an FDI system for nonlinear systems using neuro-fuzzy inference system. The proposed diagnostic system consists of two neuro-fuzzy inference systems which operate in two different modes (parallel and series-parallel mode). It generates the parameter residuals associated with each modes of faults which can be further processed by additional RBF (Radial Basis Function) network to identify the faults. The proposed FDI scheme has been tested by simulation on two-tank system.
